I was at a restaurant last night and received a call from a associate that inquired how I was doing and then proceeded to mention to me that the forecast for the next day was rain. Since he was not a rider I took it that he did not know better and I didn't make an issue that he had irritated me with this information and that I thought he was just player hating. How do my fellow riders feel when a four wheeler brings this into a conversation?

There's some biker taboo against mentioning rain in a phone call??? Seriously, you're upset about this? Maybe he thought he'd let you know in case you hadn't heard. I don't really understand what the issue is or why you posted.

PS: We really need to get out of this biker vs. cager mentality.Unless you ride your bike, 24/7 and 364, you're a cager sometimes too.

Wow I guess if I want to be a "real biker" I've gotta quit letting people talk to me about the weather. I'll have to add this one to my files.

Fletch19, You need to take a chill pill.

If it wasn't for the "Geeez it's gonna rain (snow, sleet whatever) again" subject. No one would ever communicate. Take it easy dude. The weather is a subject we can all relate to even if your not a motorcycle owner. Now if the Fkr said right after "its' gonna rain" - I guess you are gonna get wet on your scooter then he started laughing hysterically and then repeated it with a louder voice so everyone in the restuarant can hear it. Then I would sayyou have a right to be ticked off.

It wouldn't have bothered me at all.Getting caught in the rain is not even an issue.Knowing it is going to rain is still not an issue.

I completely understand. My wife pointed out some clouds yesterday

LMAO! Don't ya just hate those pesky women folk?

Why answer a call while in a restaurant in first place? Unless you're waiting on the organ transplant, that call can wait until after you have eaten. And had you not taken the call, then you wouldn't have any reason to be upset. Just my 2 cents.

why ya a friggin pussy? afraid your gonna melt?[8D]

Fletch, how about replying to all these posts in your own thread??...til then, suck it up, take a pill, get over it. Cuz I have afeeling it's gonna rain.

That's the way to teach your old lady, how bad did she smack you when she got up??

Cell Phone?

"Real Bikers" don't carry cell phones, especially while dining in a restaurant.

It is raining here now, so I think I'll go eat a bullet, no sense doing anything else. Lifes over, it really sucks............

I usually dont worry about rain or getting caught in the rain while riding cuz chit floats.

It is gonna start raining here soon. [sm=escape.gif]

PleAse dOn'T KilL mE

Yeah, man. Biker up! Don't let no frickin' "associate" tell you about the frickin' weather while you are at a "restaurant"...on your "cell phone" no less. You better take this guy to task. Tell him that you posted about it on an online forum. That'll teach that cager phuq not to make small talk with a true biker!

*Overheard in a restaurant*

"YeaJimmy I was loading my bike in the trailer and...

Oh hold on I have an associate ringing in on the cell phone and I absolutely must take this call, can you tell the waiter I'll have the quiche and white wine? Thank you.

Oh hi John, yes that will be fine. Ok and you too. What the... CLICK!

That summa ma beech! He just said it was gonna rain tomorrow! Ok that's it! Cancel the order, we are gonna go pay a visit to John and set his cager ass straight! Long live the real bikers!

Where the hell are you going so fast Jimmy? Hold your horses there bro, at least let me finish my white wine, geez."

;):D

Along the same lines the thing that I hate is when someone says you ride, did I ever tell you about the guy I know that on his motorcycle got his head cut off and died a painful death. For some reason they think I want to hear about that.

LMFAO!!! For some reason, while reading that, the image of Paul Sr. in Wild Hogs popped into my head. I wonder if Jimmy is going to go to the spa.

Cell phone, I don't have a phone in my cell. Oh guard bring me a phone with the white wine please.

If all you gots to worry about is a cager friend calling to check on ya when it's raining, I'd say you got life by the nutz. Jeez. :eek:



[quote]I completely understand. My wife pointed out some clouds yesterday

what irritates me more than somebody telling me about rian or another motorcycle wreck , is trying to eat diner in a resturant and the person setting behind me is blabbing on the cell phone. for what ever reason they think they need to talk loud enough for the whole resturant to hear ,or some kid lokking over the back of the booth at you with a big ole wad of snot hanging out of there nose. I think resturants should have cell phone and kid free dining avalible.

Kill them all!!!!

Guys at work do this all the time to me. The other day my coworker said your gonna get wet this afternoon on the way home. Well it never rained at all, looked like rain and the wife and I even went for a 30 mile ride when I got home.

Now the other evening I was at the fire house with a couple other guys shooting the sh*t and the town clerk came out to go home.
She drives a toyota prius and I have talked with her before about her fuel mileage and stuff, wife was looking at getting a prius, she drives 75 miles one way to work.
Well my electra glide is parked beside her car and she says whos bike? I said its mine, she then asked what gas mileage do you get? I said I checked it earlier today and was 43 she smiled reel big and said smugly, Im getting better then you!
Well without an hesitation at all I respond back, but im having more fun then you!
She frowned jumped in her car and took off. The other guys were laughing their asses off.

HUH?

and while I'm at it...wtf is an associate? I got friends...I got enemies....I thought associates worked at Walmart or something...and oh yeah I know a few ass*oles too....but associates...nahhhhhhh

I don't think the guy needs me jumping on the pile, but damn, sometimes when you come on here and invite abuse, it would rude of him not to accept it...[sm=laughingsmilie.gif]

*Overheard outside John's house, the day after the restaurant incident*

"Yea yea Jimmy, I know we should have came over here yesterday but I was tired after all that wine. Now get yer butt up there and knock on the door and give that cager a whats for.

Huh? What do you mean I should do it myself? What makes you think that since I didn't tell John on the phone how I felt that I would be willing to tell him face to face. Sheeeeeeit Jimmy you think I'm a dern fool?

Alright, alright Jimmy calm down.

Ahh let's just go it's starting to rain anyways.

What was that Jimmy? Oh for crying out loud I don't care that you think we should have listened to John..."

To funny!

Man-up.

Fletch - I gotta agree with the others - you need to lighten up!!!

I would have responded sooner but I was checking weather.com

OR...are you trying to increase the number of "Posts".

Hey I think we called this hog pile in grade school ! :D

Anyways ... Fletch ....Real bikers don't ... Awe nevermind ;)

Talking to a guy the other day when he said "man it's getting cloudy". Went straight over burned his house down...That'll teach him!

Yanno, I've got a real problem with anyone calling themselves a man when they feel the need to beat on a woman...

Joking or not, I really dont appreciate reading that type of crap, because if you are such a big bad ass, then you shouldnt need to hit someone....because they should already know how bad ass you are... :eek:

You want to be a pansy ass and beat on a woman, that's your business..... but if you happen to do it in my presence...well....let's just say someone would go for a ride in an ambulance...and someone would most likely be wearing handcuffs...

Huh, when people say it's gonna rain, I say "Oh no!!! I'm so sweet I'll melt!!!" Who really cares if it rains or not--my bike is washable and so am I.

I think resturants should have cell phone and kid free dining available. I have been known to ask the person seating us to put us in a non-kid zone. A couple have kind of looked at me funny but I tell them I don't want to be near any kids that might act up and ruin my dinner. A couple of times a waitress has tried to seat us near kids and I've flat told her no, we won't sit there because of the kids.

Don't get me wrong. I have 4 grown kids and 13 grandkids. But when our kids were growing up, they knew better than to act out in public at a restaurant or anywhere. And our grandkids also know that isn't tolerated by us. I have never had to get on their case real bad in public. When they start to act up a little, I just look at them and say, "Hey, you're in public, you know how to act rightand you better do it now." Never had to say it twice at same place.

Found out long time ago that I am water proof. Bike is water proof. Where is the problem?

Talking on a cell phone while in a restruant is silly and rude to those around you.

Well thanks, guy's perhaps I did overreact a bit. After all I was a little tired at the time and just wanted to mellow out. As for answering the phone, generally I do not at that time but thought it might be important since it was after 10pm on a Saturday.

I HATE WHEN IT RAINS THE DAY AFTER IM TRYING TO HAVE A GOOD MEAL SOMEWHERE SO DONT FREAKIN CALL ME

I’ve had it rain when a person made a joke about ANYTHING I don’t like so I kicked my cell phone into a couple of kids acting up in a restaurant when the organ transplant didn’t come through because some tough guy wanted to wash his bike. How sweet is that? Stupid not-bikers.

Potholes man.....potholes........I want to kill anytime someone brings up potholes.

DON"T THEY KNOW I RIDE A DAMN MOTORCYCLE!

Fletcher , Post a picture of your bike , quite a few here are probably interested in seeing what you ride !

Try a valium or two !

BY THE WAY ITS GOING TO RAIN TOMMOROW

I'm pissed. I got rained on this morning, and not one associate of mine called last night to warn me, the rat bastards.

So did Fletch melt from the rain or what?

My lady friend had some plans to come visit me couple of weekends ago, she had to ride 120 miles to meet me and I was going to ride back with her for a party. She calls on Thursday and says its gonna rain Sat, Are we still doing this? I told her I paid extra for the option for my bike to run in the rain, I'm riding to the party! So she comes on her bike on Fri... We leave Sat to go to the party - I sneak my full face in my bag, put on chaps and leather jacket and we hit the road. It starts raining so we pull over - While shes putting her Frog Togs on over her wet clothes I bust out the full face - the look on her face was priceless. I give her credit though, for her first time riding it the rain she did real good and didn't complain at all, at least not to me.

The rain helps wash away the tiny pieces of cages that are all over the road.

Well, frankly, I don't give a damn.
I avoid riding in rain if I can, but if I feel like riding and can't wait and it's raining... to hell with the rain, I ride all the same.
I usually don't even bother with a rainsuit. The heat from the engine and the air from riding will keep me dry :D
I try to avoid it in town, during rush hour, though. Too many drivers seem to go blind AND imbecile with rain.:eek:

ahahahaha

ride, rain guess what they pretty much go together. if you dont get caught in the rain a few times a year then you are not rideing enough.i'd worry more about the cell phone that i would the rain.you can't ride and talk at the same time so why carry it. then you wont get a phone call .

I once shot a man because he told me it might snow.

I love rain. Only time my bike gets washed.

When someone says something to me about rain my response is, "it aint the first time and it won't be the last"

One day after work it was raining pretty hard so I got dressed out in my rain gear and as I was walking outI passed alady walking in and she said your gonna get wet, as I was walking out in full rain gear!!!!!!

It was raining before all those people got here. They didn't melt.
And we all had a good time. What rain, we have rain gear for that stuff.

It's all about the riding.

What really burns my butt is when I'm in a restaurant and some no-mind starts yakking on a cell phone. I can put up with rain.

What really burns me up is the arm chair biker. If the weather is not just the right way they can't ride. And if they do go riding it's only to the bar or restaurant to sit and talk about riding. Life is to short to only talk about what you want to do. So what if the bike gets dirty it can be wash one day. But not today because everyday is a riding day. Go see the world or just the other side of your state. Visit some biker events they have one every week till the end of fall.
